What if a student's literacy experience from kindergarten through graduation was truly intentional: not just aligned on paper, but built to grow with them?
That's the idea behind McGraw Hill Literacy (Emerge! K–5, Summit! 6–8, and Soar! 9–12). Every grade level builds on what came before and prepares students for what comes next, from foundational phonics in K–2, to knowledge building around disciplinary topics in 3–5, to thematic inquiry and critical analysis in middle and high school.

Curious how the full K–12 progression comes to life?
